340mL bottle best before 11/05/23, so either 6 months from now or two weeks ago...
The beer pours bright light golden amber with off white head. The head recedes to a pencil thin ring and island. No lacing. The aroma is mild with sweet grain. The taste is semisweet pale malt with a hint of corny / vegetable flavor. Moderate bitterness. The mouthfeel is thin bodied with just above average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, good.

Fizzy, kinda sweet and malty whiz, but when sitting at an Argentinian restaurant with a plate full of ‘comida’, it somehow works. Nothing I’d put a sixer in the fridge of though.,.

Sep. 2011: 330 ml bottle, as Quilmes Cerveza, from Super Cor, La Manga (Spain). ABV is 4.9%. Pale yellow colour, pearly carbonation, low and short-lived head. Sweetish aroma, notes of maize, grass and citrus. Tolerably fresh flavour, notes of citrus. An okay refreshment on a hot day, nothing more.

The pour is straw yellow with a moderate flow of carbonation. The taste is Oh well, at least now I can say that I have had a beer from Argentina. Cheers! C

Body is light golden yellow, medium to high carbonation. Head is around 1.5 fingers that quickly diminishes leaving a slight froth. Smell is some sulphur and grains but is quite faint. Taste is straw and grains, quite astringent and thin. Finish is sparkly and a bit soapy. I didn't find it especially refreshing which is no good in a pale lager. It's only worth trying to tick off a country. I believe it's "the" beer of Argentina so there you go.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a one finger head of white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving just a touch of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is light overall, but is heaviest of a slightly grainy and bready smell mixed with some smells of caramel. Along with these smells comes a little bit of a hay.
Taste – The taste begins with a caramel malt taste that has a bit of grain and a decent shot of doughiness. As the taste advances some flavors of a light herbal and hay taste come to the tongue. All the while the sweet caramel fades a bit and the doughiness gets more cracker like in nature. These transitions cause the taste to crisp up a bit and leave one with a somewhat lighter and more crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and crisp with a carbonation level that is rather average. For the flavor profile the feel is rather well done and makes for a very easy sipper overall.
Overall – Nothing spectacular, but very easy drinking and rather refreshing overall. A rather nice warm weather session brew!

My tour of adjunct lagers continues. Quilmes pours a thin gold, with little to no aroma and a light straw aftertaste. It’s largely forgettable. I'd pass, if there's better options.

As usual, the inventory at Total Wine at The Forum in Selma, TX, is messed up so this beer isn’t on my itemized receipt. Therefore priceless. Reviewed 9/27/19.
Stamped on bottom of label “10/22/19”. On shelf at store, stored and served at reefer temperature.
Appearance – 3.
First pour – Very light yellow, nearly colorless, clear.
Body – Light yellow, clear, effervescent.
Head – Average (Maximum three cm, aggressive center pour), white, high density, average duration, diminishing to a two to three mm crown and complete thin cap.
Lacing – Good. Wide band of small bubbles with stalactites and some thin columns connecting.
Aroma – 3 – Initially, some weak grain and some dimethylsulfide. Fades to nothing. Unoffensive.
Flavor – 2.5 – Slightly bitter without any hop taste. No alcohol (4.9% ABV) flavor or aroma, no diacetyl.
Palate – 3 – Thin, watery, lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation – 3 – Not very good or very bad, just bland and wet. Drinkable if desperate, dehydrated, or broke but certainly nothing to seek out.
